Some tomatoes are overly dramatic and curl their leaves for little to no reason. It’ll be fine.

What you have there is “physiological leaf roll” (google that, plus “tomato”, and you’ll find plenty of resources).
When they’re relatively small/young/fast-growing, they’ll often roll right up if you prune too heavily all at once. Other factors may be in play, but since you mentioned a recent pruning, that’d be a very likely cause.
It’s no big deal in the long run; it’s not *ideal*, but isn’t something to stress over.

Mites, thrips, or aphids. Aphids are easy to spot but the others are not.

Pruning the bottom branches wouldn’t really cause that. Usually that sort of thing is environmental stress.
Has it been cold? Hot? Windy?
Was it recently transplanted?
It should be fine regardless!

Did you prune out the top of the plant too? It looks like it

Leaves curling typically means not enough water
